Happiness Perfume

I was gifted this tiny bottle wrapped with love,
As I gingerly opened it, there was a note for me-
"Hope this adds to your enchanting treasure-trove!
I wish you a whiff of magic & may you live happily!"

This bottle of perfume was magical & extraordinary!
I opened it and experienced a magical transformation!
Smelling it made me happy & things looked hunky-dory!
Like opium, it worked its magic & became my addiction!

They saw my face dazzled like diamonds; I had the glow!
What was my untold story? They wanted me to reveal!
Happiness makes everyone beautiful, they didn't know!
If they knew I had the secret bottle, what would they feel?

I discovered my magic bottle; but have you done the same?
No 'thing' or 'person' can give happiness; it's our reaction!
Happiness is within us; the secret is to power its flame!
Let us all love & value happiness & make it our obsession!

Ah....I do believe happiness is a choice....albeit a very difficult one at times. Would that we could all have a small bottle within our pocket, and at those most difficult times, just take it out, pull the stopper, and take a whiff! I like this idea :)
